| Precita Eyes Mission Trail Mural Walks Precita Eyes Mural Arts & Visitors Center |
Every week Saturday, Sunday, 11:00am more dates/times |
Mission/Bernal Heights | |
Mural people are nuts. Wall paintings never last and can't be purchased, and the people who go specifically to see them are often the hoi polloi who know nothing about art. How can muralists expect to survive in the art world? The answer: They don't. The folks who make their work on outdoor... More >> |

| "Anaphylactic" Dreamers & Make Believers | Fri., December 5, 8:00pm | Mission/Bernal Heights | |
A gaggle of wig mannequins isnt the most common audience for live music (though at some snore-inducing gigs it sometimes feels like it). This Friday, however, the monthly Anaphylactic indie showcase moves from its usual home at Million Fishes Arts Collective to the Mission... More >> |

| "Sound vs. Image" Artists' Television Access | Thu., December 11, 8:00pm | Mission/Bernal Heights | |
Concerts are active entertainment, while films are a passive medium. Why else did the movie industry deem it necessary to dream up Sensurround, Smell-O-Vision, 3-D glasses, and IMAX? Working with far slimmer budgets but equally inspired to make moviegoing more enlivening, a new breed of... More >> |

| "First Annual International Body Music Festival" Project Artaud Theater | Fri., December 5, 8:00pm | Mission/Bernal Heights | |
Upon finding delight in the corporeal world, most infants express it by slapping, clapping, stomping, thumping, and vocalizing. This same combination has been cultivated and refined in every culture around the world. Yet, there has never been an international gathering of body musicians. This... More >> |

| Santacon Multiple San Francisco locations | Sat., December 13 | Mission/Bernal Heights | |
In 1994, if you donned a Santa suit and ran around with a bunch of other Santas, it meant you were a member of the Cacophony Society, hence a subversive thinker. Back then, donning a Santa suit was an act heavily influenced by movements like Situationism and Dada. It demanded you had the... More >> |

| Ask Dr. Hal Chez Poulet Gallery | Every week Wednesday | Mission/Bernal Heights | |
A live you-ask-the-questions game show with ridiculous video clips, Google-fu, and a genius in a fez: Voilá the Ask Dr. Hal Show. Step right up and ask any question of the good doctor, and he answers, sometimes in verse, and always using charmingly Rococo language. Who is he, and why... More >> |

| "Ecdisis" Galeria de la Raza | Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Wed., November 26 until Sat., January 10 | Mission/Bernal Heights | |
Somehow it's an art-school cliché that political art is bad. We're often grateful to those who ignore such horseshit; at the moment, that artist is Bay Arean Ana Teresa Fernández, aka the girl with a rocket, since she's blowing up so fast. At "Ecdisis," she shows sculptural work,... More >> |

Wed., September 3, 10:00pm more dates/times |
Mission/Bernal Heights | |
All you need to know in order to be a responsible audience member at the Mitch Marcus Session Four-Year Anniversary Show is this: Clap for the solos you like. For complete jazz innocents, let's explain: A solo is when one instrument is prominent, and slightly louder than the others. What the... More >> |

| Golden Gate Mens Chorus: "'Tis the Season" St. Matthew's Lutheran Church |
Thu., December 11, 8:00pm more dates/times |
Mission/Bernal Heights | |
Do you sing in the chorus? You probably just sing in the shower. But did you ever notice how happy choral singers look in their photos, all snug in immaculate tuxedos or shining robes? It must be something about the way it feels to sing in a group that makes everybody so smiley. Judging by the... More >> |

| "Hot Dogs & Asteroids" Casanova Lounge | First Tuesday of every month, 9:00pm | Mission/Bernal Heights |
|
In this shitty economy sometimes you have to choose between beer, rock n roll, and dinner. Not tonight. At the monthly Hot Dogs & Asteroids event, the Casanova makes you pay for the booze, but the rock and the hot dogs are free. The powerpop, bubbleglam, and punk... More >> |

| I Am Jesus Christ Dark Room Theater |
Daily from Tue., December 16 until Thu., December 18, 9:30pm more dates/times |
Mission/Bernal Heights | |
Here is a biblical quotation from the Web site of Jesus, www.jesuschrist.com: "I am the way, the truth, and the life." In contrast, sort of, here is a heretical quotation from I Am Jesus Christ, a new independent musical short film: "I am Jesus Christ! I am the chosen one! I drive a really cool... More >> |

| I Am Snowmiser: Walken in a Winter Wonderland Dark Room Theater | Daily from Sat., December 13 until Sat., December 20, 10:00pm | Mission/Bernal Heights | |
Years ago, someone said a word, perhaps the word "Wow," that changed everything, because it was the first Christopher Walken impression. We don't know who this person was, or if it was any good. Probably it was bad. But bad Walken can still be good if done without fear -- Walken has no fear,... More >> |

| "Poetry at the 33" 3300 Club | Last Tuesday of every month, 7:00pm | Mission/Bernal Heights | |
Most of what we know about Poetry at the 33 is that Kim Addonizio either used to hang out there or still does. That may sound like it isn't very much to go on, but Addonizio is one of the city's most underrated talents. She's a fucking genius, if you want to know the truth. If there's any... More >> |

| Porchlight: A Storytelling Series Verdi Club | Fourth Monday of every month, 8:00pm | Mission/Bernal Heights | |
We're squeamish. We can hardly believe people even get Brazilian bikini waxes, let alone give them for a living. It seems so invasive; isn't that hair there for a reason? Yet ripping off the follicles around your anus is hardly the weirdest thing you can do to your body and bodies... More >> |

| "Radical Vinyl: Gay/Not Gay" El Rio | Every week Monday, 9:00pm | Mission/Bernal Heights | |
No other sexually ambiguous club night wears its Kierkegaardian handle quite as well as Gay/Not Gay. Guests walking into El Rio on a Monday evening immediately succumb to a meltdown of libidinal uncertainty and psychological ambiguity. Fortunately, DJs Mrs. Robinson and Jenny Hoyston spin a...

| "Shutter" Elbo Room | Last Wednesday of every month, 10:00pm | Mission/Bernal Heights | |
Popscenes DJ Nako has a secret a dark secret. She may belong to the most ubiquitous crew of tastemakers on the Bays western shores, but despite all that hipster popularity she still keeps some cobwebbed skeletons in the closet. They are, believe it or not, goth skeletons. And... More >> |
